Any Ladies Have Lighter Menstrul Cycles After Vsg?



Recommended Posts

Been on birth control since age 16, stopped a month before surgery per my surgeons request. The only problem I have is that for the last 17 years I knew exactly when my cycle would start and end. Doc says I can go back on them now.

I wish! Mine was 2 weeks late after surgery (which freaked me out btw) and it came back yesterday with a vengeance! Holy cow, the cross are worse than ever and it's super heavy. And I am only 2 weeks out from surgery so I haven't taken anything for the cramps as I am not sure what I can!

Rapid weight gain/loss will affect your flow, I've gained 30lbs in 5months due to lap band complications causing me to miss a period. I freaked because I'm being sleeved the 10th and was afraid I was pregnant and would be able to get the revision. It's the same with weightloss plus keep in mind how dehydrated you are compared to before the surgery.

Try liquid Tylenol, or call the surgeon office to make certain. Cramps are horrible, I get them really bad too.

Ok mine started yesterday (a week late)! It seems to be the same. Mine are usually not heavy and only last 3-4 days. I pray it stays that way! It does explain why the scale has been going the wrong way though!

Nicole.. I'm hoping I start soon.. I'm over a week late. I'm cramping like crazy though. I woke up very frustrated this this morning because the weight seems to not be coming off. I'm a month out from surgery. And still haven't list 20 pounds yet. Not sure what's going on with all that.

With my past experience with losing weight, I always stall a week before my period then lose like 10 pounds after. I'm hoping that will happen again!

I'm 5 weeks post op and am also about a week late. Freaking out just a little. Lol. I have seemed to be losing very slowly also....maybe retaining Water? I'm not sure what's goin on either...it seems everyone is different. Hopefully you start soon and hit that 20lbs! :)

Well went to my second post op dr. Visit and I'm 24 pounds down in 6 1/2 weeks. I am happy with that I suppose. I tell ya, I sure do feel better after my cycle started, it's like my body is back to normal and I feel like I have super powers from all the energy that I've had lately.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
